Description

The Chicago Blackhawks are trying to regain the trust of fans after it was revealed last month that the team didn’t respond appropriately to a player’s allegations of sexual assault. Two hockey fans say this case represents a toxic culture that the sport must confront. Former Chicago Sun-Times reporter Evan Moore and sports reporter Jashvina Shah have been looking at toxic behavior in hockey for years because they love the sport and want it to change. Their new book “Game Misconduct: Hockey's Toxic Culture and How to Fix It” is out now. Moore and Shah tell host Jacoby Cochran what they think contributes to the toxicity.

Guests:
Evan Moore—Co-author, “Game Misconduct: Hockey's Toxic Culture and How to Fix It”
Jashvina Shah—Co-author, “Game Misconduct: Hockey's Toxic Culture and How to Fix It”
